WHERE DID GOD GO
Speeding along
Day after day
In our search
For money and fame
But I have a question
Where did God go
Lord Lord
Where did you go
Can’t even see you
In my rearview mirror
But alas
God didn’t go anywhere
It’s us
Off on our own
Personal quests and searches
For money and fame
God didn’t go anywhere
It’s us
Thought we could
Find something better
But that’s impossible
God is love
And God is here
To stay

“One Person at a Time”
I wish
I could
Talk to every person
I wish
I could
Affect every life
I wish
I could tell
Every person
How much
God loves them
I would tell
Every single person
I would tell
Every single soul
How much
God loves them
Even when
You were a fool
I have testimony
To tell
I wish
I could tell
Every single person
In this world
How great God is

THE WIND AND GOD
We don’t see the wind
But we can feel it
We know
That it is there
We don’t see God
But we can feel him
We know
He is there
The wind
Moves our sailboat
Through the water
We try to control
Where we are going
Most of the time successful
But sometimes not
Like the wind on the water
Let the spirit move in us
Like the wind on the water
Let us be open to God
To where he wants
To move us
Like the wind on the water
Let the spirit be alive
Like the boat on the water
Let us be open to the spirit
And where he wants
To move us
Like all of mankind
Should be
Spirit
Help us to be open
To God’s word in us

GOD IS JUST A PRAYER AWAY
God is just a prayer away
A prayer away
Just a little prayer away
I said a prayer
For you today
Held a thought
For you
In my heart
God and you
Are always in my heart
Just a thought
Just a thought
Just a little thought away
I define prayer
Simply as the lifting up
Of your heart, your mind, and your soul
To God
And I believe
When you pray for someone else
It is simply the lifting up
Of their heart, their soul, and their mind
To God
Praying for their intentions
God is just a prayer away
A little thought away
I said a prayer for
For you today
Held a thought for you
In my heart
ALL you really have to know about prayer
Is that Jesus did it
He prayed for himself,
“Father the time has come
Glorify your Son
That your Son might glorify you” John
17:1
“I have brought you glory
On earth
By completing the work
You gave me to do”
John 17:4
I said a prayer for you today
I held you in my heart
Jesus prayed for his disciples,
“For I gave them
The words you gave me
And they accepted them
They know with certainty
That I come from you
And they believed you sent me
I pray for them
I am not praying for the world
But for those you have given me
For they are yours”
17: 8 & 9
God is just a prayer away
Just a prayer
Just a little thought away
Jesus prayed for the world,
“My prayer
Is not for them alone
I pray also for
Those who believe in me
Through their message
That all of them will be one”
17: 20 & 21
GOD IS JUSTA PRAYER AWAY

CARRY ME THE EXTRA MILE
I’m running out of time
And I’m running out of money
I’m already out of health
And I don’t
Even have a honey
Lord
Carry me the extra mile
Because if you don’t
How am I going to get through
Please help me Lord
The time is now
Lord I have so much work to do
How am I going to do it
Without you
It can’t be done
Without you
The battle
Can’t be won
Lord
Please carry me the extra mile
Lord
Help me to do it in style
With class, with love
It can only be done
By the grace of God above
I’m running out of time
I’m running out of money
Don’t have much health
Don’t even have a honey
Lord
Please carry me the extra mile
Please, please, Lord
Let’s do it in style
Lord, please carry me
Carry me
Carry me the extra mile

Ps 7-27-2019
THE GREATEST GIFT THIS LENT!
PSALM 51 is ONE
Of my most favorite psalms
And in it CONTAINS
Some of my
FAVORITE lines
“My sacrifice=O God
Is a broken spirit
A broken and CONTRITE HEART
You=God
Will not despise” Psalm 51:17
Jesus went to the CROSS
And died for us
For MY SINS=for yours
And for the sins
OF all of HUMANITY
The least we can do
Is have a CONTRITE HEART
This Lent
At least be sorry for
ALL of our own sins and
Misgivings
I am SORRY Lord=and
I ask you
For a contrite heart=
A CLEAN HEART=Dear Lord
“Create in me a PURE heart
O Lord-
And renew a steadfast spirit
Within me” Psalm 51:10
The GREATEST thing about
Having a contrite heart
Is that our God never
Tires of saying=
“YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN”
So whatever you have
PLANNED this Lent
Good deeds=daily sacrifices=
Giving up sweets
Take your pure heart=
Take your CLEAN heart to God
And tell him that you
Are sorry
NO MATTER how many times
I HAVE=you have
Committed that same dumb sin
Dear Lord we bring
OUR CONTRITE HEARTS
To you this Lent
For we know
This is the GREATEST OFFERING
That we have
“Has not my hand
Made all these things
And so
They came into being?
Declares the Lord
These are the ones
I look on with favor
Those who are humble
And CONTRITE in spirit
And who tremble
At my word” Isaiah 66:2
“Blessed are
The PURE in heart
For they will see God” Matthew 5:8
“All who have this hope
In him=PURIFY themselves
Just as he is PURE” 1 John 3:3
Taking a DEEPER step
In faith this Lent
PRAYING psalm 51=
And bringing our CONTRITE-
Newly PURE HEARTS
Back to you
We owe you this=
Our contrite hearts to you
This Lent
For it truly is=
THE GREATEST GIFT THAT WE HAVE
In Jesus' name and in the name of our ALL LOVING=and all FORGIVING and MERCIFUL Father!

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD
They say
It can’t be done
They say
Never in a million years
But God can do all things
In those who believe
God can do all things
In those who receive
God’s words
Into their hearts
They say
It can’t be done
They say
It is impossible
Don’t you remember
All things
All things are possible with God
All things are possible
For those who believe
All things are possible
For those who receive
God’s words
Into their hearts
All things
ALL THINGS are possible with God

THE PROOF IS IN=and
it is=OUR LOVE!
Do you KNOW JESUS?=Do you KNOW the FATHER GOD?=If we say
NO=we
ARE LIARS!=”Jesus replied’=’IF I glorify myself=My glory
means nothing=MY FATHER=
Whom you claim=as your God=Is the ONE=who glorifies me=Though
you do NOT=
Know him=I KNOW HIM=If I said I did not=I would be a
LIAR=like you=But I do
Know him=and obey his word’”
John 8:54-55
WE don’t want to be liars=For we CAN KNOW Jesus(and The
Father GOD of love)=
THROUGH our daily prayers=OUR SCRIPTURE READING=Our
attending MASS=and OTHER
CHRISTIAN SERVICES=But if we say=WE KNOW the Father God=and
Jesus=SOME may
Ask us=WHERE IS THE PROOF?=and WHERE it is=My Brothers and
Sisters=is IN OUR LOVE=
For GOD=and in our LOVE FOR EACH OTHER!
We know Jesus=THROUGH the GOSPELS=and in COMING TO know
Jesus=the SON OF GOD=
We do get to KNOW=The FATHER TOO=For JESUS tells us=OVER and over again=That him and the
FATHER are ONE!
“MY FATHER=who has given them to me=Is greater than all=No
one can snatch them=out of
MY FATHER’S hand=I and the FATHER are ONE”
John 10:29-30
“Jesus answered’=’Don’t you know me Philip=Even after I have
been among you=such a long
Time?=Anyone who has seen me=Has seen the FATHER!=How can
you say’=’Show me the Father?’
Don’t you BELIEVE=That I am in the FATHER=and that the
Father=IS IN ME?’” John
14:9-10
And so my sisters=and my brothers=IF WE KNOW Jesus=We also
know the Father=for they
ARE ONE=in each other=and we KNOW them=By living lives=OUT
OF LOVE=The PROOF is in=
OUR LOVE=for the Father=for Jesus=and for EACH OTHER!=GOD
ABOVE all else=LOVE your
NEIGHBOR as yourself!
Jesus talks repeatedly=IN THE NEW TESTAMENT=About the
Father=He talks about=THE
FATHER’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for us!=His never ending kindness=and his
UNCONDITIONAL
FORGIVENESS=Your PROOF in HOW you know the Father=is in
how=YOU KNOW the SON=and
It is=HOW MUCH LOVE=You have for them=and how much LOVE=we
have FOR ONE ANOTHER=
“Blessed is the one who PERSEVERES=Under trial=Because
having stood the test=That person will
RECEIVE=The crown of LIFE=that the Lord=has promised to those=who LOVE HIM” James 1:12
“FINALLY all of you=Be like-minded=Be sympathetic=LOVE ONE
ANOTHER=Be compassionate and
Humble”
1 Peter 3:8
“See what GREAT LOVE=The Father has lavished on us=That we
should be called= Children
OF GOD”
1 John 3:1
“For this is the MESSAGE=You heard from the beginning=WE
should LOVE ONE
ANOTHER”
1 John 3:11
And so my friends=Your love of THE FATHER AND JESUS=and your
LOVE FOR OTHERS=is
ALL THE PROOF=That you need=When we LOVE God and love each
other UNCONDITIONALLY=
When we love others unconditionally=THE PROOF my friends is
in=We are=CHILDREN OF GOD=
And brothers and sisters=Of the LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Dear Jesus=Dear Father God=YOUR LOVE is enough for us=For we
want NOTHING MORE=but to
SERVE OTHERS in your NAME!=The names of Jesus=and HIS FOLY
FATHER=the
Holy Father God!

WHY ARE WE SO LUCKY
Today is a great day
To be alive
The sun is shining
And we feel good
But for many of us
In this world
It is going to be their last day
They don’t know it
But we will die
Both saints and sinners
But it is also a day
Where many children are being born
All over the world
There is a 1 in 20 chance
That we will be born in America
Why are we so lucky
Most people are born to
Non-Christian families
Muslim, Buddhist, etc.,
Why are we so lucky
In India
You are lucky to live
To be a year old
Or if you are lucky
You might live
And just be sick
Your entire life
Why are we so lucky
I don’t know the answer
But I do know
Where much is given
Much is expected
I do know
God gave us a tremendous opportunity
God gave us a gift-LIFE
What we do with our life
Is our gift back to God

CAN WE BREAK GOD’S HEART
Can we
A mere mortal
Break God’s heart
I believe we can
And I believe it
Because of God’s unwavering love
for us
Only someone who you love
Can in fact
Brake your heart
And we are all
Children of God
And God loves us
With an infinite love
The Word of God
Is in fact spirit
And he wants us
To live
According to the fruits
Of that spirit
And these fruits
Are love, peace, joy, patience
Kindness, goodness, faithfulness
Gentleness, and self-control
He wants us
To live these qualities
And not lives of
Coldness, indifference, ingratitude, and rejection
Of him and those around us
But we are children of God
And like any loving parent
God forgives us
Over and over and over again
So what can we do
To earn God’s love and forgiveness
Nothing
All we can do
Is to strive to become better each and every day
And know God still loves us
WITH AN INFINITE LOVE
